I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you need to
run configure with the --enable-maintainer-mode flag to have the .lemony
file translated into the .cc file when building.

I think the .lemony is the correct place to make your changes, otherwise
they will be overwritten when the .cc is regenerated later (ok, if
you're not going to do that, it doesn't matter, but losing the changes
because of forgetting something like that sucks...)

I'm no expert on these things, so take my comments with an appropriate
pinch of salt.


  Best regards,
